It takes a village to raise a child.
Our training program is for all adults who are a part of the child's care-giving village. We offer Adult SEL (Social Emotional Learning) coaching for parents, school staff and mentors. We also have a supplemental student curriculum.
Our mission is to transform school culture through 1. Adult SEL training and by 2. mobilizing community partners to address school challenges together.

Learn More About SELHow do I know the SEL-Plus Mentoring Method is effective?
The missing piece in traditional SEL education is the disconnect between home life and school experiences. SEL-Plus has developed an SEL mentoring method that focuses on training adults to bridge the gap between SEL in the education space and at home.

We manage education efforts and special projects to accelerate towards Urban Education Reform. Here are some of the projects we manage and could replicate to serve in other areas.

SEL-Plus manages the education sector of Together Chicago. Through our mobilization efforts, Together Chicago (with various Chicago-based partners) serve over 100 Chicago schools. All active initiatives work towards transforming the culture of schools in Urban communities plagued by poverty.
My Brother's Keeper (w/ Obama Foundation)
This pending partnership will allow SEL-Plus, in partnership with Together Chicago, to support schools in closest proximity to the location of the Obama library (in Chicago's South Shore Neighborhood). The programs of SEL-Plus will be deployed to help transform the culture of these schools.

HOW IT WORKS
SEL-Plus empowers adults who impact children - parents, school staff, and community-based mentors.
We train adults to support social-emotional and mental health, of students, through coaching experiences and short educational videos. Our short videos are impactful and efficient, to deliver the content that will most support you and your youth while being considerate of your busy schedule. Our Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) video resources are separated by SEL topics and grade levels. Our training promotes on the ground SEL work, that advances pro-social behaviors, for a thriving school culture.
SEL-Plus provides the best SEL training experience for the adults who care for our children.
School Districts
We will train your parents, school staff, and mentors to offer effective SEL to reduce adult stress and increase student success. Our SEL themes allow the adults to have unified language and strategies to best support students.
We are also ready to deploy our community mobilization training to support your district's vision. See examples above.
Teachers
We will help you to make SEL actually happen. Aren't you tired of starting SEL work, to find that the other programs do not work for your classroom? This program is structured, yet flexible enough to bring exactly what you and your students need in your classroom setting.
Parents
In our village we heal together to enhance our capacity as parents and leaders. Could you benefit from a space like this? Join our “SEL-Plus Village.
Students
Through our initiatives, students will feel supported from adult caregivers in every aspect of their lives. And the research shows, students that feel more supported and happy reach higher levels of academic success.
